“…Understanding the psychological dimensions and patient attitudes in dental treatment is imperative for effective care and patient satisfaction. 12,13 Our study, conducted at the Islamic International Dental Hospital and Rawal General and Dental Hospital on 500 prosthodontic patients seeking complete removable dentures, aimed to study the mental aptitude of individuals undergoing or desiring dental treatment. Within the dentist-patient relationship, anxiety emerges as a significant limiting factor and a prevalent concern among those facing dental procedures.…”

Objective: The objective of the article is to assess anxiety in patients undergoing complete denture treatment. Method: A valid pre-structured questionnaire was presented to the patients desirous of receiving complete dentures after obtaining informed consent. The questionnaire for the survey was filled out and collected from 500 patients receiving complete denture treatment. Results: Of the 500 patients, 61.1% had prior denture experience, and 38.1% were undergoing denture placement for the first time. While 84.4% felt comfortable with the idea of complete dentures, 15.4% found it repulsive. Reasons inducing anxiety in a dental setting, include materials (28.3%), instruments (8.2%), the dentist's chair (28%), and other reasons (60.5%). Specific concerns related to complete denture use included fear of breakage (16.6%), ill-fitting prosthesis (43.3%), and discomfort with wearing and removing dentures (25%). Patients overwhelmingly appreciated having the entire procedure described beforehand (99.2%) and considered language understanding by the doctor as crucial for good treatment (97.8%). Conclusion: There is a greater need for the patient's expectations to be understood and their doubts, concerns and fears to be narrowed by effective communication. A good understanding of patients' mental attitudes will help us improve the technique of dentists towards complete denture treatment in a more patient-friendly way. Keywords: Anxiety, attitude, communication, complete dentures.

A flabby ridge is an area of mobile soft tissue found superficially, which affects both maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges. It is a common finding in long term denture wearers, where the rate of bone resorption is very fast leading to development of hyperplastic soft tissue over the alveolar bone. Fabricating a denture over the flabby ridge poses a problem to the dentist because masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Forces exerted during the act of impression making can result in distortion of the mobile tissue leading to ill-fitting dentures. All these factors compromise the retention, stability, and support of the complete denture. This paper presents a case report for a patient with Kelly’s Combination Syndrome, wherein, an innovative impression technique was used to record the flabby ridges during the process of denture construction. The resultant denture was more comfortable for the patient and did not exert undue pressure over the hypermobile tissues.
